SHAREHOLDERS OVERWHELMINGLY APPROVE TRANSACTION WITH THOMA BRAVO

At Kneat.com Inc.'s (Kneat) special meeting of shareholders held earlier today, the company's shareholders approved the previously announced plan of arrangement, whereby Kneat will be acquired by an affiliate of Thoma Bravo LP.

"We appreciate the strong support of our shareholders whose approval marks an important milestone toward completing our value-maximizing transaction with Thoma Bravo," said Carol Leaman, chair of the special committee of the board of directors. "With Thoma Bravo's partnership, operational expertise and deep software sector experience, we will be well positioned to accelerate Kneat's industry-leading position in digital validation and quality process automation."

Shareholders approved the proposed transaction by special resolution, with approximately 87 per cent of votes cast at the meeting in favour (and 84 per cent of votes cast on a disinterested basis, excluding votes required to be excluded pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions). Final vote results from the meeting will be available on the company's website and under the company's profile on SEDAR+.

The proposed transaction remains subject to certain customary closing conditions, including the granting of the final order by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) approving the proposed transaction. The hearing for the final order is scheduled for Aug. 4, 2026, and assuming that the necessary court approval is obtained, and the other closing conditions are satisfied or waived, it is anticipated that the proposed transaction will close shortly thereafter.
